Microsoft has released its latest update to the DirectX end-user runtime. The update patches DirectX installations on all current Microsoft PC, workstation and server operating systems. Microsoft releases updates to the DirectX end-user runtime on a bi-monthly basis, with security, performance enhancements and features usually forming the update. The latest update or the entire redistributable (for offline installations) can be downloaded from Microsoft here.

Mussels, about the redist updates, i get them each time when i find them on the MS website, its basically like part of the Windows Updates Scheme for me (once a month heh) Graphics drivers for me on other hand are every 3-6 months. I just hope 8.11 and 8.12 drivers are rockin because i will be upgrading from 8.5

as has been said a few times now: while the news post mentions the november release, MS are having problems and are only posting the older version. If you already had hte newer version somehow, it would report this one as older.

Wierd. So they have released an update, and it dont work

Is everyone else getting the same as me on the dxwebsetup version. It just says no update, you already have the same or more up to date.

If it were only a DX9 update, it would have nothing to do with Windows Vista / Windows 2008 OS'es, which are listed in the system requirements. Security and performance fixes are usually generic and the installer downloads files according to the environment it's run on.

Ya for some reason Microsoft announces they have a DX update but doesnt put it on the website for a few days. And ye the DX installer is all in one so it doesnt matter if you have XP or Vista, your system will be updated accordly.
